Title: Fluid applicator for dispensing measured quantities with use of controlled suction
Inventor: EPSTEIN GORDON HOWARD
IPC: A61B17/11
Filed: 1998-04-14
Abstract: A medical fluid suctioning device for selectively applying varied levels of suction pressure at a device-tissue interface includes a direct "trumpet"-type control mechanism in conjunction with a "venturi"-type control. A valve manifold is adapted to couple a vent pathway and a suction pathway simultaneously to the vacuum conduit adapted for connection to a vacuum source. The amount of resistance to flow due to vacuum pressure is adjusted simultaneously in both the vent pathway and the suction pathway in order to achieve controlled, selected levels of suction. Similarly shaped valve apertures are provided in inverse and reciprocal orientation along an axis of motion of a valve manifold. The apertures translate across ports to the suction and venting pathways simultaneously to vary applied suction to those pathways inversely. The shaped valve apertures preferably have diminished elliptical shapes having an elongate axis with an increasing cross-sectional area going from a transverse short axis to a transverse wide axis along the axis of motion of the valve manifold. The diminished elliptical shapes are inversely oriented relative to each other as regards the positioning of their wide and short transverse axis along the axis of motion.

Inventor: MIYAZAKI SHINICHIRO
IPC: H04N5/12
Filed: 1998-05-11
Abstract: An input image signal is converted into a
digital form in an A/D converter 6 by clock pulses 53
from VCO 4 of a PLL circuit 1. The frequency of the
clock pulses 53 is fixed. After the number of scanning
lines is converted in a primary processing circuit 7, the
digital image signal is written in field memory 10. The
image signal is read out from the field memory 10 by
second clock pulses 63 generated in a PLL circuit 11. A
frequency divider 15 in the PLL circuit 11 is changed in
frequency division ratio by a control signal. As a
result, the sampling number in one horizontal period of
the image signal read out from the field memory 10 is
changed. Since the number of pixels in the effective
image period of the image signal written in the memory is
constant, by changing the sampling number in one
horizontal period on the read-out side, the ratio of the
effective image period relative to one horizontal period
can be changed to adjust the horizontal size.

IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: The invention intends to provide an organism tissue
treatment apparatus using a radio frequency, in which the counter
electrode plate is needless, and a treatment can be applied to an
organism tissue by a discharge between the discharge electrode
and the organism tissue and a Joule heat by a current flowing
locally through the organism tissue. 
     The organism tissue treatment apparatus using a radio
frequency of the invention has an electromagnetic wave radiant
electrode 5 which is supplied with a radio frequency current having
at least a high band radio frequency to thereby radiate a strong
electromagnetic wave from a tip thereof. When the tip of the
electromagnetic wave radiant electrode 5 is approached to a local
region 9 of an organism tissue 8 until the organism tissue 8 is
exposed in the electromagnetic field near the tip of the
electromagnetic wave radiant electrode 5, an arc discharge 10 is
generated between the tip of the electromagnetic wave radiant
electrode 5 and the local region 9 of the organism tissue 8. And at
the same time, an arc current flows into the local region 9 of the
organism tissue 8, serving the organism tissue 8 as the earth, to
locally generate a Joule heat. By utilizing the arc discharge 10 and
the Joule heat locally generated by the arc current, a treatment
including an evaporation, dissection, and a coagulation and
hemostasis by the thermal denaturation can be applied to the
organism tissue 8.

Inventor: OTSUKA MASATO
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-06-08
Abstract: A computer implemented method for generating virtual files to provide more flexibility and efficiency in the sharing of data within a physical information file. In a computer system, a large physical file contains many separate data portions that need to be shared. In one case, the data portions can correspond to video and audio information of multi-media scenes. An application can need to jump within the physical file from scene to scene when composing user interactive multi-media applications, such as storybook applications. The present invention provides a mechanism allowing a user to define a virtual file containing certain data portions of the physical file. The user inputs an offset value representing a byte offset from the start of the data portion in the physical file and also the size of the data portion is input. The offset value, the size and the file name of the virtual file is recorded into an index file. This can be performed for a number of virtual files thereby constructing a number of index files. For each index file, the computer system then generates a file entry representing the virtual file. The file entry contains a file name of the virtual file and a physical location on disk of where the virtual file exists. The offset value is translated into a physical location for each virtual file. The operating system of the computer then accesses the virtual file in the conventional manner as any other disk file is accessed to efficiently access the associated data portion within the physical file.

Au moins deux de ces régions (14, 114, 214) peuvent être configurées de manière à réaliser un multiplexage spatial. Le concentrateur HPC (10) est réalisé par les opération suivantes: (a) on enregistre une pluralité de structures de diffraction sur le film (14) optique holographique multiplexé en utilisant des techniques de multiplexage angulaire, spectral et éventuellement spatial; et (b) on monte le film (14) optique holographique multiplexé sur une surface (12a) de la plaque (12) à haute transparence. L'enregistrement de la pluralité de structures de diffraction est adapté à l'orientation souhaitée du concentrateur (10) holographique planaire par rapport à l'énergie solaire (16, 16', 16'). Le concentrateur HPC (10) est monté de façon présenter l'orientation voulue pour le captage d'énergie solaire(16, 16', 16''), et comprend au moins un dispositif (30, 32, 132) collecteur d'énergie solaire monté le long d'au moins un bord (12', 112', 212') du concentrateur HPC (10).
